sportsfanmas Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 So I just played my first world cup qualifying game with USA, and after the game I got a news message that said one of my players had gotten his 20th cap in the game. Now I'm not going to pretend I know a whole heck of a lot about soccer, because I don't, but I love this game and I'm trying to get better at it. So my question is, what is a cap?
